A Direct Attack
Marsha Burns
Yesterday in our intercessors' meeting, the Lord showed us
that the enemy has launched a direct attack against us, which has resulted
in us being put down, locked out and hindered in various ways. The devil has
put us under pressure so that we would make mistakes and allow him to take
control of our situations. This pressure has also caused us to lose control
in a number of areas and has put us on the defensive so that we are trying
to protect ourselves instead of being on the offensive, which is necessary
for us to move ahead and gain the victory. The Lord told us that we had to
change our mindsets from that of victim to that of being aggressive in
maintaining increase. He also warned us to not lose sight of our goal in the
midst of the skirmish. We were also shown that God is moving us to establish
boundaries in our lives, both personally and corporately, and our areas of
responsibility and ministry are being redefined. I believe these things also
apply to the corporate church and not just our body of believers. Thank You,
Lord, for Your faithfulness and leading, guiding and directing our steps.
AMEN.

Glimpses of Glory, Eyes of Jesus
Jim Grayson
We are coming into the most crucial period of our country's history. The
church will shortly be challenged by the Holy Spirit to make some changes.
It's up to His kids to be done with this world and run to Him, allow Him to
take us from glory to glory and to be transformed into His likeness. Our
deepest desire should be that the Lord Jesus be seen in us. That means death
to self, beloved, and although dying always hurts, there are tremendous
rewards to be had. How's the song go? "Consuming fire, Sweet perfume, Your
awesome Presence fills this room." I've experienced this and I'm just a man,
nothing special to the world but, as a Child of the Most High King, I am
precious in His sight. He loves my praise, and accepts it and treasures it,
especially when it is born of pain and comes out in the darkness. He loves
you, too, my friends, and so longs to fill you and thrill you with His
presence. Again, we have a work to do. We must press in to Him.
If you want to know Jesus, to really know Him, you have to concentrate on
Him, rather than on yourself or the world. The enemy will attempt to make
you self centered, and will come in as a flood to turn you away, pointing out
all your shortcomings and saying you're not fit for the Kingdom, to which I
have learned to reply, "Of course, I'm not but I am acceptable by the Blood
of the Lamb." That stops him in his tracks. If there's anything the enemy
hates, it's the Blood of the Lamb, for that is what the Revelation says we
will use to defeat the enemy, that and the word of our testimonies.
There is but one way to have Jesus in our lives. We have to die to our
own desires, to die to everything but Him. That's why so few people really
go on with God. It's always painful to die...always...but just as Jesus was
obedient to the will of the Father and went to the cross, so must we be
obedient, adopting the example set by our Lord Jesus, and must each day go to
our cross and die, taking it up and following Him. The more we die, the more
Jesus is in us, and the more Jesus is in us, the more He moves and works
through us, even to healings and great signs and wonders. When you die to
yourself, you create a void which Jesus fills. You will do what you see
Jesus do, for you will see with His eyes, and not your own, and His eyes view
the things of this earth with a clarity and reality unknown to man...but it
can be known to man, if we're willing to turn loose of the world and the
right to our own life. The glory will be such that it all will be worth it
here on this earth, not to mention what you will find when you go Home to
meet Him.

A Time of Preparation
Yolanda Ballard
Come unto Me and rejoice for this is the season to praise Me for what I am about to do through you, My children. Yes, this is the
season to praise Me not just for who I am but what I will do through you. For I have been preparing you, My children, through
many hard times in order that you would be prepared to carry My glory for I can only move through a broken vessel of honor and
glory.
Come unto Me and let Me continue to purge you of any impurities. Let Me bring all the dross to the surface so that I can
completely skim it off. For that is what these hardships that I have allowed you to go through were ordained to accomplish in
you....a total cleansing and purging of your heart. For it is under the fire of My love, through the trials that I have designed for
you alone, that you find out what is really in your heart.
Yes, you want to trust Me, but there is still so much in the way that hinders that perfect trust to come forth. For I have placed in
every heart of My people the measure of faith that they need to walk through ever trial victoriously, but because of the root of
unbelief you have not been able to stand on My word.
So come unto Me and let Me show you that you really do have what it takes to stand against the fiery darts of the enemy of your
soul. Let Me show you that deep in your heart that you do have My word planted. Let Me show you that you can stand and yes,
you can rest in My faithfulness.
It is utmost importance, My children, that you come unto Me and rest in My presence. Let Me hold you close and refresh you
with My loving touch. Let Me hold your head against My breast and let you hear My heart of love beat for you. Let Me whisper
in your ear what you long to hear of My grace and truth and My comforting words of love. Let Me strengthen you and show you
the way to go and prepare you..... for what is ahead of you is a mighty move of My spirit. Yes, I will move through you mightily
and it is all up to you. Will you draw close to Me and let Me do My work, says your God.

The Mantles
Dave Howe
There is coming a Transferring of the Mantles - Like the handing over of a coat from father to
son - Like the cloak dropping from Elijah to Elisha as Elijah was taken up upon his chariot of
fire. - Like the handing over of the kings scepter of authority to his princely son - The new
king to be - Like the changing of the guard.
Pick up your Mantles - Put that ring upon your finger - Pass on that which I have given unto
you - Give up so that it can be given unto you - Shaken together - Pressed down - Running over
- For as you give you shall receive.
Take off your old clothes and put on those robes that I AM giving unto you - For it is time to
put on your wedding garments.
Do not look back as did Lots wife - For when she looked back she turned into a pillar of salt.
For her heart was still set on past things - She lost the Ministry that I wanted to lead her
into for she held on to the past - Held on to her ways - Did not obey my Word.
My people - Look towards to that Holy mountain before you - Climb my people climb - Yes climb
into that cloak - Into that new mantle of anointing before you.
For there is a new day before you - All you have to do is step forward into that day.
So be not afraid - Look at me - Yes SEEK MY FACE - Step out of that boat of past things. Come
and walk on the water of faith with me for you can do all things by faith in me says the Lord.
Yes - This is the day of the transferring of the mantles from one to another - Pick up those
mantles before you and strike the waters before you - Yes put on Christ.
And as you strike the waters before you in faith they shall part like the waters parted before
my servant Elisha in days of old.
So I say again - Pick up those mantles - For by doing so you will do greater things in my name
in the days ahead - Gave greater Glory unto my Son says the Lord.

Seeds of Righteousness
Debbie Cossu
I intercede in your behalf.
I am planting seeds of holiness in Sprit and in Truth that will bear
fruit such as you have never seen. I am planting fresh seeds in your
heart and looking for a harvest of righteousness that will flourish.
This seed shall be firmly rooted in the soil of My love. These roots of
righteousness shall spring up and blossom throughout the earth. They will
produce a fragrance of Holiness that will drape the humanity you have
tried to clothe by yourself.
The winds that are coming will blow away all that is not rooted deep in
the soil of My love. The weeds and tares that are growing along with the
seed of righteousness have no root in this soil and will be plucked out by
My own hand. Circumstances that have attempted to choke out your very
life will be uprooted quickly and removed in an unprecedented way so the
beauty of holiness can be seen.
What has been planted in righteousness will cause My people to be clothed
anew. The holiness found in My presence will spring up in places you
never expected, for I am no respecter of persons. There are those who
bear My heart that have not found a place in heart of "the church." I am
about to honor the seeds of mercy and compassion they have planted. They
have watered the ground with their tears, and now other tears must fall.
There is seed yet to be planted, come and help. The crop of
righteousness and holiness I am looking to find in the earth shall be
sown in tears. Tears of repentance, tears of humility, tears of
servanthood, and tears of surrender. These will yield a harvest of joy
and new life.
Work side by side together with Me. I am your intercessor, and you are
mine on the earth.
We shall watch that which is sown sprout forth and blossom, bearing more
seed for the harvest yet to come.

Do Not Discard What is Valuable in This Hour
Stephen Hanson
"This message is a "continuation" of an earlier word that was given to me
[five-fold archives: 1-8-2001].
"Remember that the enemy was thrown down from the wheel. Remember that a
ship without a captain cannot sail properly. I have been "thrown-off" some
of your ships lately. The water is deep and the winds blow."
"Nevertheless, a ship may be destroyed and not its inhabitants. My servant
Paul, sailed in a ship once with a great storm. I assured him that he
would come safely there. He had a mission to fulfill. Many of you have a
mission to fulfill as well. The storms have blown in many directions in
your lives. Be certain though, that you do not throw what is valuable
overboard, though."
(The Lord showed me a ship that was sailing. I was looking at it from above
and it was in a narrow channel. There were huge craggy cliffs on either
side rising up next to it. Then as I continued watching the ship, my view
was lowered to where I was eye level with the ship. I began to notice
several of its people throwing things overboard. First there were jewels
and treasure boxes that were thrown. Then cell phones and other things were
cast aside into the ocean. After this, I noticed that pieces of paper were
also thrown overboard into the ocean. On one of them the word "FAITH" was
written down. The second one said, " HOPE" on it. I also noticed however,
that "FEAR" was kept on the ship. Also the word "LOVE" was also cast
aside. I then noticed these pieces of paper and watched them as they
floated away from the ship. Other things were also cast aside in the form
of musical instruments and even some people as well.
Then the ship began
to rock back and forth. Finally it capsized and turned on its side, and
began to sink. However, before it actually sank, a huge figure, the Lord,
reached down and lifted up the ship in HIs hands and with a net He brought
it to safe and dry land and set it upon a rock on the beach. I noticed a
lighthouse that was searching to and fro across the waters. A great storm
was upon the sea. The waves came in great height and force like a
hurricane. Some people were actually swimming in towards the beach for
safety. Other remains of broken-up pieces of ship wreaks were floating here
and there on the sea. I noticed as well, that the light from the
lighthouse was shining upon the waters, searching for people who were lost
at sea. Some had their hands out, as they were holding onto the debris from
the ships that had gone down. It was evening and the sun had just gone
down, and the waters were beginning to calm down now. I saw a net that a
man was climbing on. As he continued to climb, I noticed that this net was
part of someone. It was the Lord Himself; the net was part of His robe. As
He stood in the water, this man continued to climb up Him for safety. The
Lord reached out His hands for him and others, to climb to safety.)
"Come to Me in the midst of the storm and you will find safety. The waters
will rise and fall, but I have control over them. Do not discard what is
valuable in this hour. You will need these things for the journey."

Let Go
Deanna Moore
It is time my people to lay down all that I have been purging from your life in this last
season.
I have been revealing to you as a loving Father that which will not be needed.
For I am doing my own work in and thru you.
For some it is difficult to lay aside those things, because you have bonded to them. They were
necessary then but NOT NOW, says the Father.
Have I not told you that I will speak to you and reveal my hidden manna to you. But you must
First obey me on this!!!!
Will you not step in front of the situations that are occurring in your life, by the measure of
faith that I have given you?
I have not come to hit the enemy that surrounds this world I have come to bring life to you and
have given you the tools to walk over them, and to silence them.I already conquered death,
hell, and the grave.
As Commander in Chief I AM given rank to those whom I have chosen for this final battle.
I demand obedience to my words.Many are coming now as I call them out of their training camps.
They are full of ME, and they will honor me and I will give them Victory.
This is the Final Hour, and I am the Lord thy God, I change not.Psalm 18:34 -46 He trains my
hands for battle, my arms can bend a bow of bronze. You give me your shield of victory and your
right hand sustains me, you stoop down to make me great.You broaden the path beneath me, so
that my ankles do not turn. I pursued my enemies and overtook them. I did not turn back till
they were destroyed.I crushed them so that they could not rise, they fell beneath my feet. You
armed me with strength for battle.You made my adversaries bow at my feet. You made my enemies
turn their backs in flight and I destroyed my foes.
The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
"This is my word", saith the Lord," I change not".
There are many who speak my words, but they have no love, no power, no heart.
I have come to give Life and love is what I show the world.
My people will come in love , and power, and will have my heart.
LET GO now my children , I am doing what I said I would do.
Abba Father...

What Is In Your Hand?
The Lord showed me a group of people who were holding baskets in their
hands. The baskets were filled with gifts and different kinds of
fruit.Each person was standing on what appeared to be a chess board. They
each appeared to have a particular spot that was theirs.
I then saw the Lord approach this group of people. It was as if their eyes
were blinded to His presence, for they seemed unaware that He was there.
The Lord began to reach into the baskets of these people, and began one by
one to remove the gifts and the fruits in each person's basket. As the
people gradually became aware that items were being removed from their
basket, they began to react in different ways.
Some of the people appeared panicked, and tried to grasp their basket
closer to their chest. When this would occur, the Lord would then reach
out, tug the basket from the person's arms, and upend the contents of the
basket onto the ground.
Other people at first resisted the Lord's efforts to remove the items from
their basket. The Lord spoke softly to them. At the soft sound of His
voice, these people immediately became still. Up until now they had not
been aware of His presence.
They still seemed unable to see the Lord, but now appeared to be aware of
the fact that what was happening to them was of the Lord. Still, even with
this knowledge, many of these people were weeping as the items were
removed from their basket.
When all the baskets were empty, there was a pause when it appeared that
absolutely nothing was happening. The Lord stood completely still. The
people began to look at each other questioningly, as if trying to figure
out what was happening. Nothing appeared to be happening.
I then saw the Lord walk over to what appeared to be a door. He now had an
awl in His hand.
When the Lord reached the door, He softly began to call each person over
to Him. Some heard His voice calling to them; others did not. Those who
heard the voice of the Lord, walked over to where the Lord was standing.
The Lord told them to stand in front of the door. When they did, the Lord
took the awl, and pierced the person's ear with it.
When the Lord did this, the person would jerk with pain. The Lord quietly
spoke to the person, and the person would immediately calm down. It still
appeared that no one could see the Lord.
When the Lord was finished piercing the ears of those who had heard His
voice calling to them, the Lord walked back over to the chess board. He
turned and called the people with pierced ears to come to Him.
Hesitantly, they approached the chess board. They each went back to their
original place. With both hands, the Lord took two corners of the chess
board and shook it. All the people were jostled from their places. Some of
the people fell down. They were all confused about what was happening.
Then the Lord began to reach into the jumbled mass of people. He would
pick up one person, and place them in a particular spot. Then, He would
pick up another person, and place them on a particular spot. He did this
until all the people were placed on the chess board, in a spot of the
Lord's choosing.
The people were for the most part uncomfortable with their new and
unfamiliar spots. I heard the Lord speak to them. He said, "Go and do what
I have assigned you to do."
There was silence for a time. Then one person asked, "What are we to do?
We don't know what is expected of us anymore. We don't know what we are
supposed to be doing."
"I have taken the old from you," the Lord replied. "Your old ways of doing
things, your old ministries, I have removed from you. This is a time of
newness for many of you. I am placing many of you in new ministries, in
new surroundings. Do not try to cling to the past. Do not hold on fiercely
to your old ways, and to your old ministries. I will take them from you
regardless of how tightly you hold onto them. Even those of you who appear
to retain your same ministry, I will change things within it to
accommodate what is to be made new. Go and do what I have assigned you to
do, with what I have given unto you to accomplish this."
"How will we accomplish what You ask of us?" the same person who had
spoken before now asked.
"I have supplied each of you with the tools that you will need to
accomplish My will," the Lord replied.
"But we have nothing," another person said. "You have taken all from us
that we once had. What is left?"
"Reach into your baskets," the Lord replied.
Each person reached into their basket and removed an item.
"I have given each of you what is in your hand," the Lord said. "Use what
is already in your hand to do what I ask you to do."
*****************
After having received this vision, I asked the Lord the meaning of having
pierced the people's ears. I felt led to locate in the Word places where
people's ears were pierced. The passage that spoke to my heart, is Exodus
21:2-6 ~~ "(2) If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and
in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. (3) If he came in by
himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife
shall go out with him. (4) If his master have given him a wife, and she
have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be here
master's, and he shall go out by himself. (5) And if the servant shall
plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out
free: (6) Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also
bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore
his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever."
I felt the Lord was asking that we agree to enter in to a covenant with
Him of perpetually serving Him, and of living for Him. Entering into this
type of covenant relationship, will leave a definite mark upon us.
As I further pondered where the Lord asks us to use what is already in our
hands to accomplish His will, I was reminded of the passage of Scripture
in Exodus 4 verse 2 ~~ "And the Lord said unto him (Moses), What is that
in thine hand? And he said, A rod."
The Lord sent Moses against Pharaoh with the rod that was already in his
hand.
David fought Goliath with what was in his hand (a sling and stones). The
Lord is asking us to utilize what He has already placed within our hands
to accomplish His will and purpose through us. He is asking us to use what
is familiar to us. Because of its familiarity, perhaps we have felt led to
dismiss its effectiveness. While we may be searching for something
spectacular with which to do a work for the Lord, He is simply asking us
to use what we already have.
During this time of change of plans and ministries for many of us, let us
attempt to see that it is the Lord's hand orchestrating the changes.
Instead of resisting the changes, and opposing them, and seeking to hold
on to our old plans and ministries, let's try to open our eyes to the new
way and new ministries the Lord may be guiding us into.
The Lord will place us wheresoever He desires, and use us in whatsoever
capacity we allow Him to. Let us bind ourselves so completely unto the
Lord (even as the servant in the Old Testament who gave himself forever to
his beloved master as his slave), that we will obey completely and
unquestioningly whatever the Lord requests of us.

Wellspring prophetic ministries england.2 Corinthians 9:10
"Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, will supply
your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness."
AC 27:13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they thought they had
obtained what they wanted; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore
of Crete. [14] Before very long, a wind of hurricane force, called the
"northeaster," swept down from the island. [15] The ship was caught by the
storm and could not head into the wind; so we gave way to it and were driven
along. [16] As we passed to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we were
hardly able to make the lifeboat secure. [17] When the men had hoisted it
aboard, they passed ropes under the ship itself to hold it together. Fearing
that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea
anchor and let the ship be driven along. [18] We took such a violent
battering from the storm that the next day they began to throw the cargo
overboard. [19] On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard
with their own hands. [20] When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days
and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved.
